GONNA BE AT ACEN IN CHICAGO IN A COUPLE DAYS OKgot a table with some friends. i have no fucking clue where we'll be at. however, i DO know that we'll have a big display thingy on the table with lots of perler stuff on it. i shall be selling prints, displaying arts and taking small commissions and junk.SO IF YOU'RE IN THE CHICAGO AREA AND COMING TO ACEN, COME SAY HIthank youuuuu.

still working on them requests from LAST YEAR AHAHAHAH fuck.keeping the list up to remind myself.

my first ever deviation is of my character tweed. koanodan.deviantart.com/art/Tw…i have yet to actually do anything worthwhile with him and his friends, but WHO KNOWS. (i can tell you right now that i know and i will not get around to it.)looking back through my submissions, i think i've improved. i have been no where near competent at keeping track of my progress, but i like to think there's improvement there. i've also discovered so many cool artists here who have influenced me over the last ten years. i don't think i'd be the same artist without that influence.

SO TO CELEBRATE!i am offering to do 10 requests! one for each year i been around. you name it, i'll probably draw it! GO AHEAD, GET CRAZY.COME AT ME! seriously, whoever wants a free request just lemme know. i'll put your name on the list!

i've been trying to doodle some stuff to get me in the mood to paint but it seems my head is stuffed entirely too far up my ass. gotta loosen up, need to loosen up y'all! gimme some ideas to doodle and sketch. go crayznuts, make it interesting!!!

FINALLY i've gotten my 900+ deviantWATCH messages looked through. i feel guilty if i don't at least look at the pictures that people have worked on!i haven't seriously updated my deviantart in over a year, but here soon, that is going change. there's a massive backlog of new material i need to release upon the interwebs. looking through all y'alls great stuff has really inspired me to take off my lazypants and put on my BIG GIRL WORKIN' PANTS! you have no one to blame but yourselves, awesome artists that i watch.

i have unleashed a veritable crapload of recent tattoo work up in here -- check some stuff out, tell me whatcha think!and i'm still not done yet! oh there is more, believe me. or don't. but i'll make you a liar if you don't.and doublethanks for all the favorites and such! u d00ds is cool.

hah! have finally finished requests you guyses requested back in like, october. the belatedness was partly because of a lack of scanner, but mostly because tattooing and laziness rule my life. i hope you like em!!

OKAY !gonna copy p-ro here. the first ten people to leave a request for a doodle (your character, mr t, the effel tower, pokemon??!, whatevs) shall get said doodle. nothing too over the top. i feel like i am getting lazy, and need to flex some artistic muscle. make it weird and fun!

we ride bikes and admire local flora and fauna. take pictures, get high and listen to the din of it all. i'm ate up wih noseeum nibbles and good times. the challenge is fitting everything we wanna do into these nasty time and budget restraints!florida is hot wet sticky fun in the summertime. much foto and art to follow! stay tuned with fingers crossed.

this economy fucking sucks. i am offically one of thousands who's lost their job and stability.

commissions have been open forever, but i am running a special right now to stimulate my economy: 5x8 full color drawings of whatever you please, for 5 bucks.your character, someone else's character, mr. t, kool-aid man, that hot chick you're stalking, make it crazy! i will go nuts on that piece of bristol board. note me if interested.

forgo a pack of smokes or fast food lunch in favor of some art! it's way healthier!

ALSO KIRIBANG. whoever gets pageview number 8888 gets some free arts of their choosing. as long as it's not real lame. i've got a rep to think about here u kno.

man, it'd be cool if people asking for tattoo designs would get back to me about em... maybe it's the fact i charge for it. shit. i don't charge if i'm DOING the tattoo, but i sure shit will charge otherwise. if i take the time, you pay the money. simple. the only thing free in the world are your thoughts, and it's up for debate on how long that liberty will last.

HELO! posted some tattoos i've done in the past couple months that i'm particularly proud of. drawings and shit to come, maybe some tattoo designs and shit since thi is what my life is now, and has been for ten months...

TATTOOS.

anyone need some ink? ME ME ME fuck i need some new ink, i am tired of giving them and not getting any! who here wants to tattoo a chimp drinkin liquor on my leg/???

i am slowly going through long forgotton artwork not checked in months, so if you recieve a comment on something you did four months ago, smile a little smile at my words of idiocy pollute your screen.

ta, hope everyone's cool and drawing and making them dolla dolla bills G

i'm on vacation in CT for 10 (ten) days. i got here the 17th and it's been busybusy since! seeing my few close friends here have been so uplifting and refreshing; not having to work this whole time is cool too. the family drama aside, things is goooood. smokin, drinkin, drawin, relaxin.sheila is about to pop!! she's so pregnant. i can't wait for little mia to come into the world; it's not much of a world to come into but there's lots of people who love her already. apparently she's due on my birthday! bitchen!!!

while i am here, i'm going to scan a bunch of crap. speaking of CRAP, i need to go through the rest of my stuff in the cellar and see just what i can take with me on my trip back...because i'll need stuff to fill up MY NEW FRICKIN APARTMENT!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSnicole found an apartment in vincennes for the both of us and the excitement i feel is exquisite. it's only 370 a month, plus like, gas or something and we can PAINT THE WALLS HOWEVER WE WANT. murals, anyone?!?!? so. so. so. mgea-a-a-a----- sweet. it'll be awesome to live with a girl! a girl who is CLEAN and ORDERLY! ahhh. f'real kids, i'm really on my own now.

maybe i'm eligible for food stamps.

SO FOCKIN A HOW YA BIN you gainin a little weight? too much pastrami fa you, yaknowhaddimean?indiana is wunnerful for the most part. i am laughing every day and am happier than i have been in a long, long time. not to say everything is birthday cakes and rolypoly children blubbering down slip n slides, oh no. but bitchery about small grievences is pointless. who do i look like, andy rooney? OH MAN I WISH. he has a turtle mouth! seriously!! look! upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…i was even in a samuel k VIDEO BLOG! aka a VLOG for all you n00bers. click this link and watch us be weirdos! youtube.com/watch?v=-TZ2zO8MI3…drew is a super b/f and i loves him to bits. chunky bits only a chainsaw can make satisfactorily. it'll be two months in december! cripes i've really been here that long? hot DOG.i am not making money at my job, but tattoo apprenticeship is not known to be a lucrative career move. i'm lucky i don't have to pay THEM. the shop owners may and doc have a different contract in which the tuition for the apprenticeship basically pays for itself. i love working there, i love my coworkers, and they usually feed my fat ass. it's perdy sweet cept for the whole not making money thing.so instead i've taken on a ton of commissions through sam's mom. they're not too difficult, just realistic portraits at 25 bucks a pop plus 10 for every extra subject. i'm expecting to make around 500 bucks with that which is more moeny than i've ever earned for anything art-related.

ONTO THE MIMIone. first 10 dookieshooters to respond will have my 3three favorites pieces picked out their galleries and get their own little feature here in my jernul.two. say anything ya want. don't want a fabulous feature? THEN SHUT UP.three. if you do pipe up, you should try and do the same in yer jernul or this mimi wouldn't really be a mimi, would it?

so yeah. at the end of july i got kicked of this house in harwinton. i don't deal well with being told i have to wait three plus years with no job, no income, and no way to further my art "career" in a place that's seven fucking miles from anywhere, or with being a free babysitter for ANOTHER three years. i stayed with my friends sheila and ed back in the good ol dirty water for a little over a month, missing otakon, and searching for a job pretty much every day. since they live in the ghetto right behind the mall, it wasn't difficult to look. the difficult part was actually AQUIRING the job. possible employers don't really like to see a 19-year-old that's never had a damn job before. ironic that when i finally land a job interview, ed's miserable bed-ridden tobacco-addict father throws a cripple-fit and BAM i'm homeless. i wasn't being a nuisance, or a drain, or anything like that to them, but what paul wants, paul fucken gets. when he's rotting away in a shitty nursing home, screaming for a cigarette to no one, i'm going to write him letters with nothing but HA HA HA HA HA CRIPPLE in them.my brothers let me stay in their apartment for about a week, from the 5th to the 11th. i washed their dishes and scrubbed their bathroom. i couldn't stay there, though. so i plotted with samuel k. EVIL plotting, as if there was any other kind. basically he says it's cool if i live with him in indiana! GLEEEE. of course, getting there is the problem. i don't have any money, i'm stuck back in harwinton and mother dearest is being flaky on the whole subject of helping me, but relentless on telling me to get out. if i had the money i'd've split town already. the setbacks keep rolling in. maybe i should just ride the rails, hobo-style, with nothing but a flask of whiskey and a bindle full of vittles and a glimmer of hope in my bleary eye? how romantic.

WELL HALLO CHHHHUUUMMMPS!here is an update about my current situation, if you care to know (and you don't!)i've nearly finished moving into my mother's fiancee jeff's new house in harwinton, which is still in connecticut, but much more hick-ish. or maybe just more wealthy, which explains why everyone owns at least 3 horses (and some sheep, too). i'm going to get friendly with those people, maybe they'll let me pet their horsies.my room, or as i lovingly refer to it, "the dungeon", is in the unfinished basement. cold stone floor, cold stone walls. it's awesome. i even like the old musty smell of it. there's only one teeny window that lets almost no light in, so it always feels like it's the middle of the night. the computer is totally mine now and set up down here, and gracious jeff got HIGH-SPEED INTERNET!!!!!!!!!yeah, it may make most of you jaded hi-speeders yawn and say "what's tha big deal son??" but after seven years of dialup (seven??? jesus i am getting old) i cannot even begin to describe my joy at having pages load in the blink of an eye, songs downloaded in under a minute, and the fact that i am no longer a slave to AOL!!! i can talk on the phone and surf the innernards simutaneously! aaahhh, PRAISE BE AMEN!!! it's... it's gorgeousity made internet. it also means i can finally look at and comment on awesome art on several different galleries that i participate in! even this one hoshiiit! yeah, i could do it before, but it was such a pain in the ass to wait for pictures to load... ugh.my mother even found a job for me in the local newspaper -- gluing together and painting crafts and shit for some company. i don't even gotta go anyplace, they send it right to the house. ain't that the proverbial shit?

now i just have to get the rest of my crap here, like... my bed. though that brown leather couch upstairs is more comfortable than it. and hey, does anyone have a cheap desk they want to sell to me? i'm still in desperate need of one. kitchen tables ain't cuttin' it anymore.

ok so who else is with me in saying WHY THE HELL IS IT ALREADY MAY??this decade is going by too fast.

and hay! i'm in genuine need of money, and can't (really, CAN'T) get a job in my current family situation because i have to watch my handicapped brother almost every day -- so i'm open to commissions. i'll draw just about anything, MEANING YES I'LL DRAW PORN. i enjoy drawing it! ohwait except furreporn. sorry. but i will draw a furre in a non-sexual manner!if you're interested, fling me a PM and we'll discuss all the essential hootenanny that way. it would be extremely appreciated and all of my best effort will go into your drawing. a thousand thanks! ' 3 '

ok so i feel like an hairy sassy ass. people have left me kind words on my page! but, deviantart doesn't send me messages! so of course i neglect to look. ah well.been exposing myself not to children, but a lot of different art lately. i should totally take a whack at some black painting a la ad reinhardt, or manifest an inscape onto canvas like roberto matta. oh yes. i namedropped.AH FUCK! i just stepped on my glasses!!
